It is on this day we remember our members who are no longer with us.

Following a ceremonial lowering and raising of the flag, the men’s club members challenged the women’s club to determine the winner of the “Shirts V Skirts trophy.

Although the Men’s Club won, there were some very good competitions with the team of Rick Islaab, Geoff Page and Ron Green adjudged the overall winners, from Dot Dallas, Bette Sailard and Linda Richards.
